Studying Law introduces students to the fundamental legal skills that they will need to successfully study the subject, such as case analysis, legislative interpretation, problem solving and essay writing, and to the core Law subjects themselves and the distinctions between them.

Legal Method commonly refers to a set of techniques used to analyse, handle sources and apply the law and to determine the appropriate weight that should be accorded to different sources of law.   This text assumes no prior knowledge of the subject matter and makes its content accessible by clarity of expression rather than by dilution of content. In addition to more conventional sources, writers as varied as Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope and T. S. Eliot are cited.

Why do some rules have the status of law while others do not? Is law simply a matter of rules anyway? What is justice? Is there a duty to obey a law even if it is unjust? Should the law concern itself with the activities of consenting adults in private? Legal Theory asks questions such as these, discusses topical issues such as animal rights and assisted suicide, and explains some of the answers which legal theorists have given from Ancient Greece to the present day.

Legal terminology need not be intimidating or obscure. This is the ideal introduction to the meaning of the core vocabulary which confronts anyone approaching the study of Law for the first time. It includes clear explanations of Latin words and phrases. The 2nd edition has been thoroughly updated and revised throughout.

Obtaining a DNA report with information about your ancestry is easily arranged these days. Unfortunately, the DNA information supplied is very general and only provides details of ancestral ethnic areas. To really know our ancestors, we must research our family history to uncover the stories: the achievements, the tragedies, happiness and sorrow. In this book, I have attempted to not only document my Scottish heritage but also record some of the family stories that I have uncovered during my research. Although the relevant facts, dates and places resulting from research are all necessary components of ancestral history, it's the stories that provide a real insight into our ancestral past.Of course, this type of project is never complete because there are always mysteries to solve, leads to follow and gaps to fill. Hopefully, some young enthusiastic descendant will take on this task.

Third in the series, the author provides more "Children's Address" material for use by ministers in church, or by teachers during school assemblies. Containing sufficient material for a year, this is a practical resource which includes a feature on "The Family Service".
